Enjoyed my stay for 5 days
Perfect location, and enjoyable with a balcony. Very clean and tidy, and free coffee and water was the best service. A bit stress to enter for checkin pincode though.

In a busy and a little noisy square. Plenty of restaurants around the square. Coffee and water available 24 hrs. Clean and basic - it is a Hostal. Not staffed but secure access only.

Lovely clean room. I selected a single with balcony and had room 21 which was clean and fresh. Basic but functional. The bathroom is tiny with the hand basin sitting over part of the toilet so if you are a little larger it's a tight fit. Check in is a machine and ended up having to call for assistance as there was no room assigned to my booking. Next issue was it checked me in and provided a room card but no indication of which room! Quick call and sorted. The hotel advert mentions coffee machine but there is No coffee machine anymore even when it's mentioned in all the emails. There is a hot/cold water machine instead. Great location for the sites and plenty of bars and restaurants outside to enjoy. Will be happy to stay again

I had reservations booking a hostal as I’ve never really slept in one before. This was in a great location, the communication was very good even when I struggled with the touch screen self service key card. I had help straight away. The room was super basic but the bed was clean and comfortable, the towels were fresh and the shower hot. No frills but all I did was sleep and I slept very well

This was a full-on backpackers lodge which I wasn’t expecting. Generally unmanned. The lady who serviced the rooms was nice. Great location, right on the doorstep of restaurants and cafes. Easy to walk to historic sites. Between 2 and 4 flights of narrow stairs, no elevator. Room small. No tv. Tiny tiny shower was the worst feature. Location and air con were the best features. Wouldn’t stay again but only because my expectations were of a hotel.

Well located hostel but noisy
A day or two before arriving, you will receive a message from the hotel with a door entry and booking code. There is a machine in reception where you enter the booking code to receive your key. You then receive an email to say which room is yours. It's a great system. The location of the hostel is very central and there are many restaurants immediately out front, which is both a good and bad thing as the noise goes on til 2am. The room is basic but comfortable. The bathroom is tiny and would be an issue for anyone of a certain size. The biggest issue for me was not being able to reach staff members. The hostel is meant to be 100% smoke free but as soon as the staff leave at 6pm, everyone hangs out their window smoking so I couldn't have my balcony door open because of the smell. I think the dorm rooms are on the fifth floor too as the teens and 20-somethings staying in them would run up and down playing music and making a lot of noise from six. This wasn't every night, but it happened more than once. Even if a staff member doesn't stop in regularly late at night, they should do this now and again to stop this happening and make it clear that people can be viewed smoking on balconies and running around corridors playing loud music and that there would be consequences if this was observed. One last positive is that there is a big Carrefour five minutes away.

Bring earplugs. This place was great and price was wonderful but it was like sleeping in a tin can. You can hear everything ricocheting down the halls. Also it’s above a very busy plaza. People will be up outside laughing till 5am. I would stay there again though.

The phone number on Hotels does not match the phone number on the intro emall they send you, not that it matters because they don't answer the phone or return whatsapp texts on a timely basis. The absolute worst experience I have ever had. The shower is too small for any adult human which would be fine if maybe there was a towel for a bathmat, but there isn't. The maid was a kind wonderful human and the location was fantastic.but F the owners.

Quarto limpo, porém com pouco espaço, banheiro apertado. Não há elevador. Ficamos no 3o andar. Para subir com malas pesadas, fica sofrido. A localização é o ponto forte, bem no centrinho de Tarragona.
